About Updating Your Home Location

Learn more about updating your home location.

You may see a message asking you to update your Home Location when using Prime Video. Your Home Location is used to offer you the best Prime Video experience. The payment methods associated with your Amazon account determine your Home Location. If you live in any of the following countries, you can watch Prime Video content on supported devices and your local Amazon website:

United States (www.amazon.com/av)

United Kingdom (www.amazon.co.uk/av)

Germany/Austria (www.amazon.de/av)

Japan (www.amazon.co.jp/av)

If you live outside any of these countries, you must make a one-time update to your Home Location to access certain Prime Video content or use PrimeVideo.com. You will only ever be prompted to update your Home Location once.
